Chapter 1525 - For Tonight’s Candlelight Dinner

Chapter 1525: For Tonight’s Candlelight Dinner By then, with the exception of running, Nian Xi could already walk normally.
There was only a week left before Jiang Yuning’s departure, and Nian Xi would drag Jiang Yuning along to shop or hang out whenever she had time. Sometimes, she would even bring him to the zoo and amusement park.
She felt that Jiang Yuning had a lonely childhood, so she wanted to keep him company to make up for that.
By the time the couple came out of the movie theatre in the evening, it was already 5:30 p.m.
However, neither of them wanted to return home, and they merely wished that time would slow down.
Nian Xi clung onto Jiang Yuning’s arm as they slowly made their way through street after street. Eventually, they became exhausted, and Nian Xi pointed at a vending machine as they walked past it.
Jiang Yuning took one glance at it, and his handsome face flushed uncontrollably under the sunset’s glow. With his head lowered, he grabbed hold of Nian Xi and walked ahead.
It was not yet night time, and Nian Xi was too audacious to make such a suggestion in broad daylight.
Nian Xi did not budge, and instead, she grabbed hold of him and began to play the coquette as she said,
Come on.


Xixi, stop fooling around, alright?
Jiang Yuning turned back and looked at her with a helpless and frustrated look in his eyes.

How am I fooling around?
Nian Xi asked as she stomped her foot in annoyance.
You’ll be gone for three years! Are we going to keep up with this and only have sex when you return after three years? You can endure it, but I may not be able to. No guarantees that I won’t look for other men if the loneliness is unbearable…


I won’t allow you to!
Jiang Yuning said as he quickly cupped her mouth. There was an anxious look in his eyes.
Nian Xi blinked her eyes before she forcefully pulled his hands away from her mouth and said,
No guarantees! I’ll be 30 years old by the time you return. Do you expect me to remain a virgin at the age of 30?


Don’t force me, Xixi,
Jiang Yuning answered. A look of deep pain and conflict flashed across his eyes as he whispered,
I can’t promise you.

If he could not make it back, at least she would still be a virgin and still preserve her best for her future husband.
Baffled, Nian Xi stared at him for a moment before saying,
Jiang Yuning, can you not be so conservative? You want me to wait for you, and yet you won’t even touch me!

Jiang Yuning looked down guiltily and remained silent.
The handsome young couple stood in front of the vending machine for a long time, and many people turned back to take a second glance at them.
Eventually, Nian Xi stuck her hands into her pockets and walked away.
Jiang Yuning immediately followed after her, tugging the edge of her clothes gently and timidly like a child as he walked.
Eventually, Nian Xi went straight into a convenience store and bought three bottles of red wine.

Why did you buy so much alcohol?
Jiang Yuning asked in astonishment.
It’s not good to drink so much red wine.


It’s none of your business!
Nian Xi replied crossly as she glared at him.
Feeling aggrieved, Jiang Yuning pursed his dainty lips and replied melancholically,
I won’t dare to meddle in your affairs. Even if I want to do so in the future, I’ll be too far away.

Nian Xi’s heart ached when she heard what he said.
I bought the wine for tonight’s candlelight dinner,
she replied

I see…
Jiang Yuning murmured, his eyes instantly brightened up. Tonight would be a special night for the two of them.
But… my alcohol tolerance…is pretty low.


Having a low tolerance for alcohol is not an excuse to not drink,
Nian Xi said seriously.
It wouldn’t be called a candlelight dinner if there was no red wine and alcohol. It would just be a normal meal, and it wouldn’t be romantic or beautiful. You’re already a rather unromantic person, to begin with. Can’t you accommodate me now that you’re leaving soon?


Am I seriously that unromantic?
Jiang Yuning asked dejectedly.
I didn’t know that. I’ve never had candlelight dinners with other girls before. I’m scared that I’ll do something bad when I’m drunk,
he said.
Nian Xi’s eyes gleamed. She was anticipating him to get drunk and do something wild.
But of course, she could not say that out loud.
